The update

GitHub Copilot has officially announced its billing adjustment plan, set to fully transition to a pay-as-you-go system starting June 1. The new mechanism will replace traditional fixed quotas with AI Credits, with costs directly linked to actual token consumption. Despite the change in billing logic, base subscription prices remain stable. The Pro plan at $10 per month and the Pro+ plan at $39 per month both include equivalent credits, and the core code completion feature continues to be exempt from quota consumption. For enterprise users, the new scheme supports shared credit pools to improve resource utilization. To facilitate the transition, Business and Enterprise customers will receive additional promotional credits from June to August. Furthermore, existing annual subscribers are unaffected and will continue to follow the original billing rules until their current subscription cycle ends.
